Glamis321 Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 It's going to be hotter than all hell at that time. But if you do ride I believe there's a few rental places in Brawley, the town just outside of glamis. If you just drive around, go cruise up and down gecko road and especially up to osbourne overlook to get a good view of the dunes. Heres a decent little map Brawley is to the west, Gecko road is the first turn off after you pass the canal, Osbourne will be the second one at the top of the hill (its that tiny little road on the map just before vendor row), and the wash road is just before the train tracks.

JKJK Posted May 31, 2012 Report Share Posted May 31, 2012 I have had great luck with ElMonty rv rental just south of Sandiego.John is the owners name+a good guy to deal with.He's allways treated my brother+myself real well.I have also had good deallings with LUV TO CAMP.They will deliver camper of your choice to the dunes+pick it up when you done.You just show up+it's ready for you when you arrive.Or you could rent a class c from the first place+ drive there in about 2+!/2 hours.

hp2000 Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 Looks like its going to be 110°+ that week. If I were you id rent a tahoe with 4wheel drive and hit up the main hills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m671054 Posted June 2, 2012 Report Share Posted June 2, 2012 X3 on the 4wheel drive with ac. We used to take our tow rig from olds hill back to camp on loop 2 through the big dunes. The chevy dunerado made all the hills. A rental yukon aired down should be fun. Get the extra insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
